New Arrival...guinea Pigs...

[Janimal]

Can you remember the two guinea pig girlies I got a couple of months ago....well the guy I bought them from said he thought the male may have caught one of them and prepared me in case they may be pregnant.

Anyway I used to breed guinea pigs years ago so I was quite looking forward to it and have kept an eye on them both. The gestation period is 63 days..

I checked on the girls at 3 pm today and Nothing.

Richard and I came back with the dogs tonight...about 8.40 pm and I had a quick peek...

Unfortunately there were two perfectly formed little dead babies..Im gutted really and even massaged one of them which was really clean..but alas nothing...no sign of life.. Ive buried them in the garden tonight.

....BUT....THE GOOD NEWS IS.. We have one tiny little perfect tri-coloured baby :thumbsup: :huggles:

I will try and get some pictures tomorrow...obviously its been a very traumatic time for mum... :huggles:

RIP the two little ones... :huggles:

How cute is that baby guinea pig? :wub:

It's quite a long gestatation period for such a small mammal isn't it, but you can see why when they are born with all their hair and eyes open and fully formed. It's amzing how quickly they are ready to breed...from 4 weeks old. I've heard countless stories of baby guinea pigs being pregnant when they are sold as pets. I got one of my female cavies from PAH, and then heard how many of them ended up being pregnant. I had an anxious wait for while (w00t)

Are you going to keep her...she's very cute?

 

[Janimal]

Thanks everyone, just got in from work...had a quick peek and he/she is doing fine... :huggles: :wub:

 

[Whippets Rule]

can you pleeeze pick him/her up and sex him/her as it's doing my head in (w00t)

he/she is lovely :wub: gorgeous markings.

i bred guineas for fifteen years and must admit i really miss it now. may start breeding again next year.

i've attended many a piggy birth and saved a few but only lost two babies,one was huge and one very small. pigs are amazing mums though aren't they. :wub:

i have six females at the moment but wouldn't breed from them but i rather fancy breeding sheltie or coronet piggies.

just please please go and sex the pig :lol: (w00t)

 

[Janimal]

OK WHIPPETSRULE... :lol: :lol:

Im pleased to announce.........ITS A GIRL... :wub: :huggles: Happy now...

 

[Janimal]

I also used to breed them years ago...I must say its lovely having babies again.. :huggles: :lol: Ive always preferred the tri-colours...
